    I am trying to open the file from Video library folder

    As you can see, all the 8-bit bytes were converted to Unicode like they were in windows-1250 or windows-1252 encoding, instead of correct for cyrillics window-1251 ( GetACP() Win32 API )

    Actually, it's the other way around, the file name is in Unicode and it gets converted to ANSI with the code page of your system's default language for non-Unicode programs, which in your case seems to be Windows-1252.

    If you go to Control Panel > Region and Language > Administrative (that's on Windows 7, I'm not sure if it's the same on Windows 8) and set the Language for non-Unicode programs to your language (Russian?) and restart the system, files that have Cyrillic characters in their names and/or paths should open correctly.

    Anyway, currently Unicode file names and paths are not supported, but they will be in the next major release, so stay tuned.
